Written by Sarah Ayars[Wilmington, DE] — The Target Markets Program Administrators Association (TMPAA) has announced leadership changes, set to take effect on June 1.
Ray Scotto, who has served as the Association’s Executive Director since its inception in 2002, will transition to Senior Executive. Assuming the position of Executive Director will be Gene Abbey, a longstanding TMPAA member and the Director of Insurance Services and Education since 2023. Concurrently, Sarah Ayars, who has been with the Association for 15 years, will share management responsibilities as the Director of Operations and Marketing.
